DURHAM — An eight hour stand-off at a Durham apartment complex came to a peaceful
end Monday night, after officers and SWAT team members captured the last
of five suspects wanted in connection with crimes targeting the Hispanic
community in the Bull City.

Eric Lamont Perry ,18, faces 32 charges, including rape, robbery, and
breaking and entering. Officers received a tip Monday that Perry was
inside a third floor apartment between Jackson and West Chapel Hill
Streets.

Going on that information, more than two dozen officers roped off the
area around 1:00 p.m. It was shortly after 8:00 p.m. that Perry was taken
out of the apartment in a noisy raid by SWAT officials.

Using tear gas and low-powered grenades, officers made their entrance into
the apartment. Perry was found hiding inside the attic. He was taken
away from the scene, unarmed and without incident, covered in insulation.

Police said Perry did not live in the apartment where he was found. He is
expected in court Tuesday.

Perry is the last of five young men to be arrested in connection with the
rash of crimes. Police arrested 22-year-old Romone Miles and Taqiyy Coley
early Halloween day. They're each charged with 18 counts of burglary with
a deadly weapon, and 18 counts of kidnapping.

James Daye turned himself in November 3rd. Two days later, Chris
Thompson turned himself in to police. All five of the suspects are
being held in the Durham County jail.
